2.if can,do i need a new cooler for the processor ? or i can overclock with the stock cooler?

3. when my pc boot up,it show's the processor speed as 1700mhz (200x8.5)

yes, as ZZFH said, both are very overclockable, on stock cooler you can get a moderate overclock, if you opt for an aftermarket cooler than you can go a little higher. Check this link for any questions you might have...
